Fortune Of Lifetimes

"Ren, come quickly the sun clan has returned," said Damon excitedly

Wiping his eyes and getting out of bed Ren replied "God you're so noisy"

It had been a couple days since he had stumbled upon the mysterious stone tablet, he had been sifting through his memories much to his delight it seemed that every life he had been so many different things, being a common farmer too an invincible fighter even too a king, if he could think of some occupation loads of memories would come to mind.

At first, this shocked him but he soon came to accept the fact because of how many lives he must have lived, he also wondered if everybody lived multiple lives. Although he was only 8 he seemed to have m.a.t.u.r.ed greatly, he was as intelligent as an old sage and as cunning as a fox.

"Ren hurry up!" shouted Damon impatiently

"I'm coming... I'm coming hold your horses" replied Ren

As the two youngsters arrive at the city gates shouts and cheers could be heard as the sun clan triumphantly walked through the city gates with their mounts and spoils of their excursion, as one of the top 3 clans of Phoenix city they had an air of superiority and nobility which gave the common people of the city a sense of inferiority and admiration for their strength and envy for their heritage and resources they had.

As their cages came through the gates someone shouted: "Holy crap, look at all the saint beasts they killed and all the spirit beasts they caught!" Shock filled the crowd, all the materials were worth a fortune, but with the live beasts, they could be trained to be your loyal pet to protect you or to be used for hunting or raised to be slaughtered or bred.

Just as everyone was calming down the young master of the sun clan came through the gate carrying a fire red lion someone screamed out,

"WHAT! that's a fire lion, it's a saint beast how much fortune does the young master of the sun clan have?!"

As everyone was chatting and a moving about the leader of the sun clan excursion, a middle age man, stood up on a podium shouting "Everyone can i have your attention please" silence ran over the town centre everybody was curious about what the leader was going to say, as soon as they where all silent the leader started to speak loudly "Our clan has had a great amount of fortune this time, once we return we will be arranging a grand auction at our flaming auction house we will sell all of the spirit beasts we have captured and most of the saint beast corpses that we have. More information will be posted on the city notice board" after the excursion leader stepped down, loads of people started to cheer.

"I wish we could explore the outside Ren" mentioned Damon longingly

with a smile on his face, Renato casually replied " Damon, if you want to become strong and roam about outside all you have to do is follow me and I will lead us out of this city to explore the world outside of the city walls"

"Ren, you know we won't be able to cultivate were just orphans nobody would waste money on us"

"Damon, listen to me, nothing is impossible in this world. I promise you if you follow me we can become the strongest people in this city"

With hastened breath, Damon replied "REALLY?!"

"Yes, let's go home there's nothing more to do here and we can talk about this more"

After getting back to the orphanage the two sat down, however, Damon couldn't contain himself anymore. "Ren, how can I become strong?"

"Ok brother, first of all, we need to get some money" replied Ren, after saying this he explained his plan about how he is going to go out and hunt some boar and other animals to sell and also start cooking some to sell.

"Ren will we really be able to hunt boar? there extremely fast and their tusks are hard enough to pierce through us" said Damon with some fear lingering in his tone.

"You'll never become strong if you don't take some risks brother"

As the two brothers were going towards Renato's secret exit, two people where currently kneeling in front of an old man. "Stand," said the old man.

"Yes patriarch" replied the middle-aged man full of respect.

With a smile on his face, the old man said to the young teenager "Lazlo it looks like your gains this time where good"

"Replying to grandfather, I was fortunate to find the injured fire lion obtaining its loyalty by healing it", the old man replied by humming.

"Brother, what are you looking for?" said Damon full of curiosity

"I'm looking for some herbs to make a poison that that can knock out a boar"

"Wow, I didn't know you knew how to make poison Ren"

"Mmm, don't tell anyone about it otherwise I fear it might cause some trouble in the future"

After searching for 30 minutes Renato found all the herbs he needed, after finding them he decided to go look for some wood strong enough to make a hunting bow and arrows out off after finding what he was looking for he walked back while collecting some fruits so he could sell them to buy strong string or tendons of a beast for the bowstring, and scrap metal to turn into arrowheads.

After returning to the city and haggling with a street vendor, he sold the items for 10 copper pieces much to his dissatisfaction and headed home for the night.
